that is some incredible coralline algae growth for such a young tank. What are you dosing for calcium?

Hey Chris,

Yeah that sump would be cool but you might have to help me set it up I have no idea how to. I'm not dosing anything for calcium. I don't add anything to the water other than Seachem water conditioner (got it because it doesn't make the skimmer go nuts) and I just started using a ph buffer. I use Instant Ocean salt. I can't believe the coraline either looking back at the before pics. I didn't realize it had spread that much! I guess Trail water has the right amount of calcium in it?? Or something anyways....perhaps Cominco does the trick lol

I even have a return pump that I would sell really cheap to go with that sump.......the only thing you would need to find would be a HOB overflow.

Then not a prob, I gladly show you how to set it all up.


As for the overflow this is similar to the one Danny and I both use...and should be about the right size for your tank. But don't be fooled by what the add says with a 1" bulkhead its only good for about 300 GPH
